Top Tracks of 2012

I’ve tried to make listening to this year’s top tracks as easy as possible. Along with an embedded SoundCloud player, which has an accompanying primer due to the erratic track title formatting, there’s a link to a Spotify playlist and a .zip file containing every single song. Also, the Spotify playlist and .zip file contain about 12 extra tracks SoundCloud either didn’t have available or wouldn’t let me upload.

I tried to cover a wide swath of music in my year-end list, but after editing and re-editing my favorites, I’ve realized there are very few songs that could qualify as “small,” “quiet,” or “intimate.” And while there a few down-tempo moments here and there, for the most part, my musical tastes appear to be about as subtle as a sledgehammer. Enjoy. UPDATE: the download link should work now. Tracks after the jump.
